“No need, all you gotta do is look at what they showed over and over on TV. All the while, king was trying to get up. He refused to put his hands behind him and be cuffed, and every kick, hit or choke that he got was completely justified. Until he was chained up, the officers couldnt be sure that they, him, and any innocent passersby were safe.”
That isn’t what I am talking about.
I haven’t been able to find an internet showing of the seconds that were cut by the media before the beating starts.
What started the beating is when King launched from a crouch with both hands out going for a cops throat, I have it on vcr tape but I would like to see it on youtube, almost no American has seen it.
Even a Los Angeles detective asked me for a copy, he hadn’t known about that part.
I know that, I have seen that and I agree. What I am saying though is even without that, his actions that were shown justified what he got.
The lesson from the RK riots is that cops are expected to remain passive and let minority suspects beat or kill them. Any defensive actions by the cops will, of course, be considered racist, even if the cops involved are black.
